Description

This trail is a pleasant outing that takes visitors from Croton Road to Brower Road. Along the way, the trail features 3 bridges along the McKaig stream, and showcases nice views of the Monkey Rock cliffs. Take you time to enjoy the scenery, as there are plenty of wildflowers during spring and summer, beautiful fall colors, and stunning views all year long.
